Postdoctoral Position
A postdoctoral associate is required to join a plant cell biology group
interested in intracellular protein targeting and the synthesis of the
plant extracellular matrix. The aim of the project is to determine the
function of a family of putative Golgi-glycosyltransferases in cell wall
polysaccharide synthesis. The approach will involve Arabidopsis reverse
genetics and analysis of mutant and transgenic plants. Experience in
general cell and molecular biological techniques, Arabidopsis genetics,
light and electron microscopy, or glycobiology would be an advantage.
The post is for up to three years, is funded by the BBSRC, and is
available immediately. Salary will be on the RA1A scale, currently
£15159-£21016 p.a.
